Thanks for posting the new figures and your good painting. I agree partly with your critic. The plastic of the new figures are too soft which caused many problems especially with the rifles. I use hot water, to put the figures in the water and to make the rifles more in straight lines and also little more slimer.The sculpting of the figures isn´t bad. They are not so well done like the new Napoleonics, but they are really an good extension-offer of the ACW-range. I regret only that they are a little bit too small and slim in comparison to the other existing plastic-sets. The Esci figures fits better to them than the old Italeri, Imex or Revell.

It should be noted though that they have two more ACW sets with same theme in the pipeline, advancing or charging, so let's cross our fingers that they're much better so all hope is not lost.
